Ezra Stiles College is a residential college at Yale University, built in 1961 by Eero Saarinen. Architecturally, it is known for its lack of right angles. It is adjacent to Morse College. Unlike most of the other residential colleges, which are currently being, or have recently been, renovated, Stiles is being excluded from this project. This is especially noteworthy since Stiles' facilities (along with Morse's) are significantly less extensive and less lavish than the other residential colleges. While officially it is stated that student placement in residential colleges is a random process, it is generally agreed that Stiles has a large proportion of athletes and science majors. Athletes may be attracted to the college because of its location across from the gym.
